Answer 3

Sorry, there will be no answer. I suggest you attend a kayak school. You will get to try different boats. You can also use the library or internet to collect information.

Early humans built kayaks of wood and bone frames and skin coverings. It is possible to build a kayak using thin flat wood strips. Many kayak clubs have molds and build their own of fiberglass and resin...and for less than $200. Inquire.
